Celebrating Women in Agile with Rosalind and Janice E2
Season 1 Episode 2 of The Lurnist Show was spectacular. With the guest stars, Rosalind Radcliffe and Janice Reed-Linden, we were able to put them on the spot and ask them questions about Kanban and DevOps to their work around COVID. Rosalind and Janice were a pleasure to have on the show and we hope to see them again in the near future.
In this episode, we discuss Kanban and DevOps with 2 experts, so if anyone is interested in Agile in general this is one to listen to hands down! Rosalind and Janice share their insight for people working in the agile field to ones just getting their hands on it in college.
